We look at the division of 552218 by 23 
We want to figure out the number of times 552218 can be divided by 23.

On to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 23

Step 2:
If we divide 55 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 46 from 55 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 92 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 92 from 92 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 2 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 23

On to step 5:
If we divide 21 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2400.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 218 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24009.0
Subtracting 207 from 218 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24009.4
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
180 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24009.47
If we subtract 161 from 180, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
23 can be fit into 190 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24009.478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24009.4782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
140 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24009.47826
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24009.47826
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
200 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24009.4782608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 160 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24009.47826086
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24009.47826086 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
